From: Dina
Dear Auntie Amal,

How are you? I’m now in 3rd Preparatory at school and I’m enjoying my lessons.
My best friend at school is Lamya. She is really creative, so she likes the Art
lessons. She paints really well. I want to learn and she said she will teach me. She’s
very helpful. I said I will help her with her Maths homework. She likes Maths, but
she’s not very good at it.
Lamya is very nice-looking, but a bit short! She’s got beautiful curly, brown hair and
dark brown eyes. She’s very kind and really good fun. She’s also very friendly, and I
think we’re going to be good friends for ever!

B Look at the fact file. Write the words in the gaps below.
Titanic especially expensive survivor tragically
Fact File
Title Titanic
Released 1997
Genre Drama, romance
Director James Cameron
Scriptwriter James Cameron
Stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet
The story The film starts with the departure of the Titanic from
the port of Southampton in England in 1912. The story
is told by Rose, a of the disaster who is
now very old. She narrates the events of that tragic
night when the ship hit an iceberg and sank. Over a
thousand passengers drowned at the time and the old
lady retells her story to a present day rescue team
searching the actual wreck.
Interesting At the time, this was the most film
facts ever released. It cost $200 million. This is more than the
original cost of building the Titanic.
The ship became famous because it was thought to be
unsinkable. However, it sank on its first
voyage.
My opinion I loved it. It surely has to be one of the greatest films
of the 20th century. I liked the real-life
footage showing the wreck at the beginning of the film.
The sets are fantastic and the acting is really good.

C Now do Exercises A to E on pages 26 and 27 of the Workbook.

Unit 2 Lesson 8: What is your hobby?
A What are some of the most popular hobbies? Read the magazine
article and find out.
A Do you have a hobby? What is a hobby? Generally, this is something

you do in your spare time for enjoyment and relaxation rather than
something you do to earn money. Though sometimes a hobby
can turn into a job. Hobbies can include collecting things, doing
something creative or artistic, playing sports and other games or, of
course, simply watching television. By continually participating in a
particular hobby, one can acquire substantial skill and knowledge in
B that area.
If you live near the river, you may enjoy swimming or fishing. On a
sweltering hot day, there is nothing more refreshing than jumping
into the cool water and it’s fun to race your friends to the other side.
With enough practice, you may even get fast enough to train to enter
competitions and one day compete in the Olympic Games.
C If swimming sounds like too much hard work, fishing may be more
your kind of hobby. Traditionally, fishing is something fathers often
enjoyed teaching their sons. Many people find there is nothing more
relaxing than sitting next to a beautiful lake or river watching nature
and feeling part of it. If you are really lucky, you may even catch
something to take home for dinner!
D Being creative and making things can also be extremely enjoyable.

Jewellery making is a hobby which goes back many hundreds of
years. You can make beautiful necklaces, bracelets and earrings using
many different materials, including silver, glass beads and even shells.
They make wonderful gifts for your family and friends, too!
Another ancient craft still popular in many homes is blanket weaving.
Many communities share a loom and you can create beautiful patterns
E using wool, felt, silk or mohair. The patterns on the blankets can vary
from region to region and popular colours are bright reds, oranges,
browns, yellows and blues. You need a lot of patience for this hobby
as it takes a long time to make one blanket, but it is something for
your family to treasure for generations.
B Find any new words you do not know the meaning of and look them
up in a dictionary.
C Label the photographs with the bold words from the text. Number the
hobbies in the order you would like to try them: 1 being your favourite
hobby and 5 being your least favourite.
D Now do Exercises A to D on pages 28 and 29 of the Workbook.

Comparing things with adjectives
1 England is colder than Libya.

2 I am quieter than my brother.
3 The dawn is more beautiful than the night.
4 The night is less beautiful than the dawn.
5 Tablets are more expensive than phones.
How to form comparatives of adjectives
1 Adjectives with one syllable, add er, e.g., cold  colder
2 Adjectives with two syllables, add er, e.g., quiet  quieter
But, if the second syllable is ful, add more or less, e.g., useful  more useful
Note: clever, gentle, friendly, quiet and simple can be used with er or
more/less, e.g., cleverer or more clever.
3 Adjectives with more than two syllables, add more or less, e.g., beautiful
 less beautiful
Another way to compare things: (not) as + adjective + as
A bear is not as fast as a lion.
C Play a guessing game: Which picture is it?
duck
stork

Animals of Libya
Along the coast of Libya you can still sometimes see
Mediterranean monk seals, although they are now
endangered animals.
Inland, in the Jebel Acacus region, there are some
fennec foxes as well as gazelles, African wildcats and
golden wolves. In the old days, according to the art
on rocks in the area, there were African elephants
and giraffes there, too. But the land was greener then
and animals could survive there more easily.
A number of different rodents can be found in Libya,
including the fat-tailed gerbil, mole-rats, bamboo rats,
the North African elephant shrew and voles.
Birds
Near the coast, several species of birds can be seen,
including American flamingos and birds of prey.
There are other birds that travel through Libya on
their way to or from other countries – these are called
migratory birds. They include the Kentish plover and
the European white stork.
Nature reserves
There are two famous protected nature reserves in
Libya – the Benghazi Reserve and the Zellaf Reserve.
They help to protect the 87 species of mammals and
the 338 different species of birds that are recorded as
living in Libya.

D Find examples of the past continuous tense in the reviews in Exercise A. Change
them to the past simple tense.
E Now do Exercises A to F on pages 59 to 61 of the Workbook.

Unit 5 Lesson 7: A Website for Me
A Before launching a new magazine or website, it’s good to do

some research to find out what the readers find interesting. Read
the following information about the popularity of sports in
different countries.
The most popular sport in the world is football (or soccer as some people
know it). Football is the top sport in many countries, including Libya,
the UAE and the UK. In the USA, most people prefer American football
while in India cricket is the favourite. In China, the most popular sport is
basketball. Which sport is your favourite?
B Imagine you are creating a new magazine or website for the

students in your school. What would you include? Do a survey of
your classmates and find out what the most popular features are.
Create a tally chart in your notebooks to show the results.
Example:
sport llll lll

l
music llll
l
fashion lll
puzzles llll l
l
true stories llll llll

l
l
cartoons llll llll ll

l
l
C Work with a partner and discuss the results of your survey. Use the
words most, some and a few.
Most people like reading cartoons. It’s the most popular feature. Some
people enjoy true stories and sport and a few people like music and
puzzles best. The least popular feature is fashion.

Lesson 8: A Powerful Lesson for Everyone
Story
A Read the story. What was the ‘powerful lesson’? time
Every year, one of the

national newspapers makes
a special offer to two young
students from local schools.
In the summer holidays these
students can work as reporters
on the paper. They can see
what reporters really do in their
jobs and they can learn to
write reports.
Last summer, Khaled Shebani

was the lucky boy. He was 15
years old and he wanted to
be a reporter. On his first day
at the paper he took a new
reporter’s notebook. One of
the reporters was showing
Khaled his desk when the editor came in
and said, ‘A big new restaurant is opening in
Benghazi next Tuesday. I need someone to
write a good report on the event.’
‘I can do it,’ Khaled said.
On Tuesday Khaled took his notebook and

camera and went into the new restaurant.
Khaled watched everything, but one special
thing attracted his attention. A young boy
was taking his old father, who was in a
wheelchair, to the restaurant for a treat. The
boy bought his father some food. The father
was very old and weak and dropped food
on his shirt and trousers while he ate. Many
of the other customers watched the old man
in disgust but his son looked at him with love
and respect.

After the old man had finished and asked him, ‘Don’t you think you

B What questions do you think Khaled asked the young boy? Can you
think of three?

Unit 6 Lesson 6: A Famous Career
A Read the text and answer the questions.

1 Who influenced Dr Wadea's decision to study medicine?
2 What are loop monitors used for?
3 What information does Dr Wadea's device send to the hospital?
4 How does Dr Wadea's device support his main message?
A Famous Career
Dr Wadea Tarhuni is a leading Libyan cardiologist who lives
and works in Canada. We sent him some questions by e-mail
to find out about his career so far. When asked how he got
into medicine, Dr Wadea said, “My father Dr Mahmood, was
a well-known doctor in Libya. I was inspired by his success
and decided I wanted to be like him one day. I studied
medicine at the University of Tripoli. After that, I travelled to
Toronto in Canada to do my cardiology residency there”.
Talking about the early part of his career, Dr Wadea said that when he worked as a
cardiologist in Toronto hospitals, he noticed that patients had to come to the hospital
for emergency treatment and sometimes it was too late to save their lives. “That was
when I thought of a new way to monitor patients’ heart conditions so they could be
called to the hospital in time for treatment,” he told us.
We asked Dr Wadea about his life-saving invention. He explained that loop monitors,
which patients normally used to monitor their hearts, have to be returned to the
hospital, where the recorded signals are analysed before treatment is given. He said
that this process wasted precious time and some patients could suffer heart attacks in
the meantime.
“Using wireless technology,” he explained, “I created a real-time warning device that
patients wear on their wrists. The device transmits the patient’s heartbeat to the
hospital and when the heartbeats are irregular, a warning signal is sent. As soon as
that is received, the hospital staff immediately call the patient in or, if necessary, send
an ambulance for them. In addition to saving lives, this new invention has reduced the
burden on emergency departments in many hospitals in Canada”. Dr. Wadea added
that the Cardio-phone, a wireless recording device, was demonstrated for the first time
in the history of the marathons when, in 2018, about 20 runners wore it.
Now Dr. Wadea is the president of Windsor Cardiac Centre, which he founded in 2016.
The centre is the first-ever outpatient cardiac centre in Canada. He continuously tries
to adopt modern cardiac care technology to improve patient care. His main message is
“prevention is better than cure”.

and art and I am getting good grades, but I really
don’t like being away from home. Thanks! Mona
Hi Mona. I think you should give up school and

work in a shop. You could live at home and you
would be using your maths every day. You would
have money to spend from your job too! ☺ Fatima
Hi Mona – you should really go to college. Until

you decide what job you want, you need to stay
in education. Ask your teachers for advice and do
some research about different jobs and how you
become qualified to do them. If you find a job
you really enjoy, you will be much happier! Anna
Mona, make sure you apply for university now.

You are good at some very important subjects
and you must study medicine. It will take a long
time to become a doctor but you will earn good
money and have a very important job. Give up art
– it is useless and will not help you in life. Leena
Dear Mona, I think you need to go to language

school in another country like me. It’s great fun
and you meet lots of new people. Dalia

* North Americans hardly ever walk. They nearly always use cars.
* Because London is an extremely crowded city, most people
who work there travel by bus or underground every day.
* People who live in Indian cities often travel by rickshaw.
Business hours
British schools and government offices are usually closed on
Saturdays and Sundays. Shops used to close on Sundays, but
now most of them are open. Banks and post offices are open on
Saturday mornings. People who work in Britain often start work at
nine in the morning and finish at half past five in the afternoon.
Business hours in European countries that have hotter climates
than Britain are different. Shops and offices close after lunch and
open again at four or five in the afternoon.

Story

1 Why did the professor bring different cups for the coffee?
2 Look at the underlined words. What do they mean?
3 What is the moral lesson of the story?
Life is Like a Cup of Coffee

A group of alumni from different parts of Libya,
highly established in their careers, agreed to visit
their old university professor. He is an Indian who
lives in Hyderabad. They heard that he was very
sick. The alumni, two from Benghazi, two from
Tripoli, one from Misurata and one from Zliten,
decided to take the plane to Hyderabad. When the
plane landed in Hyderabad, they took a train to the
city centre and from there they went to the house of their professor by rickshaw. They reached
his place easily. He was very excited to see them.
Conversation started and soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering
his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and
an assortment of cups – porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive,
some exquisite. He told the guests to help themselves to the coffee.
When everyone had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, ‘If you noticed, all the nice looking
expensive cups have been taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal
for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.
‘Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more
expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was
coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups ... And then you began eyeing
each otherʼs cups.
‘Now consider this: life is the coffee. The jobs, money and position in society are the cups.
They are just tools to hold and contain life, and the type of cup we have does not define,
nor change the quality of life we live.
‘Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee. Savour the coffee,
not the cups! The happiest people donʼt have the best of everything. They just make the best
of everything.’
The alumni fully understood the lesson, and made their former professor feel happy.
They went back to Libya after a week as wiser men.
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly.
B Now do Exercises A to E on pages 82 and 83 of the Workbook.

After you do a piece of writing, you should always edit it for mistakes.
A First, study the mistakes in red in this piece of writing. Correct

each mistake and use the key to identify which kind of mistake it is.
Then think about the order of the paragraphs.
More than thousand 1 years ago, people used to watch falcons

catching for food birds and animals 2. The Bedouin lived
mostly on dates, milk and bread. It was difficult to catch
animals and birds. Then they have learned 3 how to catch
falcons. Soon, the Bedouin were eating meat there 4 falcons
for them caught 5. Their favourite bird was the large
long-legged houbara. They cooked it over a fire and it
tasted delicious.
Did you ever watch 6 a falcon diving down from sky 7? They
are the fast 8 things in the natural world. They fly high up
and then dive down to kill a bird or a small animal. Some
falcons can dive at 240 kph!
The bedouin 9 used to hunt on camels. They rode fast as

they followed their flying falcons. Today, falconry is a
sport, not a necessity, and falconers ride most 10 in
air-conditioned 4WDs.
One disadvantage of this sport is that too much 11 rare birds

might be caught. However, many goverments 12 such as the
UAE have set up protected areas for birds. People cannot
hunt there. As a result, wildlife numbers went up 13. The
enviroment 14 is more richer 15.
If nothing was done about this, there would no birds soon be left16.
These safe areas for birds are also good habetats 17 for
other animals.

Brainstorm as many ideas as you can of what you are going to write about.
Write them down as a list or mind map.
Look up any vocabulary that you are unsure of.
Select the ideas you want to use and delete any that are not relevant.
You don’t have to use everything.
Put your ideas into a logical order and group ideas that go together in sections.
If you can, find a model text and look at the style and layout. Are there any phrases
or vocabulary that you can adapt for your own work? (Be careful not to copy chunks of
the model text without changing it though.)
Think about who you are writing for and decide on the style and layout. For example,
if you are writing a letter to a friend, the style will be different to a formal letter and the
layout will be different to a story.
Writing and revising your work

Use the ideas from your planning to write the first draft. Don’t worry too much about
accuracy or choosing the right words.
Remember to start a new paragraph every time you move on to a new idea or topic.
Read through your first draft and check that you have answered the question correctly.
Decide if you want to delete, change or add any more ideas.
Decide whether you want to change the paragraphing or the order of the ideas.
Check that you have linked your ideas using connecting words and phrases
(e.g., first, next, then, etc.).
Write a second draft more carefully and slowly. Make sure your writing is clear.
Editing your work

Read through your work. Check you have answered the question correctly, every sentence
is clear, the grammar is correct, you have used suitable vocabulary and linking words, the
spelling is correct. (Check with a dictionary.)
Show your work to your family or a friend and see if they can help you edit it.
Editing tip: You could try reading the text in reverse order, starting with the final sentence
and working backwards to the first sentence. This will stop you being distracted by the
content and allow you to focus on technical details.
